Z is being an asshole because traffic was light and there was no reason for the driver to be in that lane at all unless he was passing. He was clearly not passing and was blocking, per the conversation on the video. This is why amateur Barney Fifes out there are dangerous too.

Not trying to defend the truck but this is just a reminder to those lane blockers who want to prove something. Irrational people exist. They will try to kill you for pointless shit. It’s easier to just let them pass. You’re not doing anyone a favor by escalating the situation.

The way to deal with the situations you describe is to man (or woman) up, take your medicine and go on to the next exit. Whipping across lanes of traffic is dangerous and shifts your issues onto innocent people.

As much as hate it when someone intentionally blocks a lane, it’s not worth risking their life.

Absolutely correct on there being two assholes in this video. Looks like the person started filming because the Z was just camping in the left lane purposely blocking the truck. And the truck was getting more and more agitated.
In the end the truck driver is guilty of assault, for sure. But it was not out of the blue…

Where did he say it was equivalent? It’s pretty clear that the Nissan was intentionally blocking the Ram, so that’s dick move number one. Then the Ram driver decided to completely lose all semblance of rational thought and assaulted the Nissan. The biggest takeaway from this is don’t antagonize other drivers because…

You never really know, Just yesterday I passed a pickup truck, he was in the right lane and I passed him in the left,next thing I know he is hunting me down like I insulted his mother. Mucho angry nuts out there!

Passing slowly =/= not passing at all on purpose

Almost certainly there was some ass-hattery occurring before the filming started to entice someone to take their phone out and start the filming in the first place and chances are near 100% that the Z was actively wearing that hat as well. On a positive note, filmed in landscape.

While I don’t disagree that 300ZX maybe did something to piss the truck off, no excuse for attempted manslaughter. I’ve accidentally cut someone off or had to get across the highway because I realized I missed an exit or needed to pee or something. I’ve seen people/experienced myself get aggressive from what could be…

Yeah, the 300 isn’t innocent here, but someone is clearly the much bigger asshole.

Yup, looks like there was an asshole-off, and the Nissan was the loser, which is a shame because that 300 is probably totaled.

You could be right, but you still cannot escalate to deadly force unless your life is in danger. I can’t pull my gun just because some guy is giving me the finger. No one wants to walk away anymore.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that this is probably the case? it’d take a lot to get a bro to scrape up his pickup.

They don’t seem to be doing very much passing. Most all road rage is two people being assholes, and one winning. The loser plays the victim.

Just looked up the new A5. Wow, what a disappointment.

I’m still holding out hope for a Lincoln Mustang

The Avista and last year’s Avenir would have been a perfect match to set up a new identity for Buick.

It isn’t that old but the Nissan IDX just makes sooo much sense.

Because it looks eleventy million times better than that sad excuse for an A5 that got unveiled today...
